The Palouse Sweet Potato Bake

By Maddi Ray and Michelle Little

The rolling hills of the Palouse are famous not only for the Idaho Vandals, but also for the delicious pulse crops they produce. Made using sweet potatoes, chickpeas, and a pumpkin pie spice blend of our own creation, this tasty yet healthful dish is the perfect addition to any Thanksgiving meal and is filled with delicious, rich, fall flavor. The chickpeas give the dish a delightfully creamy and smooth texture while also providing additional fiber and flavor. The simplicity of this recipe will delight the chef and the flavor will delight the guests this holiday season.
